DURHAM — A weekend concert drew not only a crowd, but numerous arrests made by the Durham Police Department and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Police Department Friday night.

According to Media Relations Director Erika Mantz, there were 39 of the 65 total arrests Friday night were directly related to the DJ Tiesto concert held at the Whittemore Center that evening by UNH and Durham police departments. In addition, the university police worked collaboratively with the state police and state liquor enforcement officers to bring additional resources to campus to help curb underage drinking and raise awareness of both the risks and consequences of impaired driving.

“The enhanced law enforcement presence was in place to keep the more than 4,000 concert goers safe and the impact on the surrounding community to a minimum,” Mantz wrote in an email to Foster’s Daily Democrat.

The New Hampshire, a fully student-run campus newspaper reported, “Face paint and white- and neon-colored outfits seemed to be the unofficial dress code when T´esto invaded the Whittemore Center Friday night. The concert, rescheduled from October, was the DJ’s fourth stop on his 2013 Club Life College Invasion Tour.”

In the same article, the show was described as also featuring a “laser show, smoke and pyrotechnics” which, “all worked together to provide a visual array of hues and textures.”

There was also a known ramped-up presence of law enforcement at the concert, TNH reported.

“My opinion of the number of police/security was that it was necessary and not out of the ordinary,” said acting Executive Director of SCOPE Bethany Bucciarelli. “This is a college campus who hasn’t seen a concert since May 2012 at UNH, so being overly cautious is never a bad thing. It is better to have excess than not enough in the event that something did go wrong.”

The additional arrests, Mantz said, were made by those two agencies but can’t necessarily be attributed to the concert.

The additional arrests were made on “surrounding roads and parking lots,” she wrote via email.
